and add that as a windows feature?

Not really. PowerShell is shipped as an OS Patch. Much like a hot fix or
other security patch. Once you install that patch, you can use
PowerShell (and IIRC, not even need to reboot!). You may need to do some
configuration (create profile files, set execution policy and create
shortcuts as needed) but PowerShell is indeed installed.
